I love non-fiction. Anything by Michael Perry (Population 485, Truck:A Love Story), Bill Bryson (Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid,Walk in the Woods), anything by Tracy Kidder or Joan Didion. I really liked Julia Child's My Life in France too. I could keep going!

Hi Sylvia, thanks!..Of course I'll get a free copy for you. Absolutely!

Send me an email to rkmywest@gmail.com and I'll return a copy to you or alternately send you a free download code....whichever I have available.
